Network.interface file not there! Solaris 10 x86

OK I know I can simply create it, but as what? network.[?]
When I try to plumb my best guess (qfe0) I get no joy.
I haved a 3Com EISA Etherlink III, VERY standard. How can I tell if the OS knows of it's existance? In the /dev directory there is nothing likely.
P.S. If this is a pretty stupid question, please understand that I've only been using Solaris (linux is my usual tipple) for about one and a half hours. Most of which trying to get the dammn NIC up.

Try elxl0 :-) This is: E L X L - zero :-) instead of: qfe0.
PS The 0 can increase to 1,2,.. if you have more 3com cards in the system.

"The built-in network interface could not be found"

I'm trying to do a new setup of time machine on my wife's macbook air running 10.5.6 to a hard disk connected via USB. When I try to configure Time Machine (previously unconfigured) to use the disk I get the error "Time Machine could not be configured. The built-in network interface could not be found."
A quick google found only fixes for hackintoshes adding .kext's which I'm not going to try. Any suggestions.

Never mind, the fix is,
1. from the finder menu GO to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
2. copy the file NetworkInterfaces.plist to your deskop as a backup
3. Delete the file NetworkInterfaces.plist in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. You will need to authenticate as an administrative user.
4. Reboot.
5. Now you should be able to configure Time Machine to use the disk

Time capsule error: Time Machine could not be configured. The built-in network interface could not be found.

Trying to install a new time capsule. I get access to the time capsule via Finder and I am able to surf the web. When trying to chose backup disk, it allows me to chose the Time Capsule from the list and type my password. I then get the following error message:Time Machine could not be configured. The built-in network interface could not be found.
What now?

User folder corrupted, went to restore, user folder files not there

I tried to upgrade to 10.5.4 in our iMac and my drive went out to lunch for some reason. We tried to work through that in another forum. I finally had to scrub the drive and install from DvD. Then I went to restore from Time Machine. It seemed to go well, but when finished, all I can see of the user folder is the shared folder. Where is my data? I had the original folder encrypted with FileVault. Could that cause the file to be hidden? I have 10 years of information in that file...

I tried several different approaches. I tried the restore from backup and could tell from the space used that the file was there somewhere, but couldn't find or open it. Finally, I loaded the OS from the installation disk and asked for a restore from backup and selected everthing but the system file. Everything came back. I did have to try several times to remember the encryption key for FileVault to get the file to open. I downloaded the 10.5.4 combo update, and this time things went fine. I don't know what happened earlier. One other unusual thing that happened in the process was I plugged in a firewire drive. The iMac wouldn't recognize it and everything suddenly flashed off like a breaker tripped (though the power strip never lost power). The iMac rebooted OK, but I'm wondering if a power supply is going south or something. Anyway, thanks for your suggestions. It looks like I have joy again! Thank God for Time Machine!

Windows 7 Libraries / Network Location / Files Not Showing Up

The problem I have is Windows 7 64bit pro workstations are not displaying all the files of a network location in a library. I have completed the following:
1. The network location is located on a Windows 2008 SBS server. I have installed all the necessary components for indexing and the indexing is complete.
2. I have the Windows 7 Pro machines libraries configured accordingly to Microsoft's steps to adding a "Shared Resources" Library and including the folders from the network indexed location.
3. I have verified the proper iFilters installed. I also verified the file extensions. They are listed in the index.
What I have tried:
1. "Restore Library Defaults" is no help.
2. Removed and re-added the "Shared Resources" library on my Win 7 Pro machines. No help.
3. I thought maybe I have a profile problem since I used MS imaging and modified my default profile but this isn't the problem as I get the same results from a ground up build of a machine. I also tried creating a new user and profile, still no help.
Ideas? Solutions? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for pointing it out.
I know your workaround is to have Windows 7 use a remote index, meaning, add a network location to a library on the Windows 7 client, where that network location resides on a server that is doing the index itself with Sharepoint or the
Windows Search Service role or even the Windows Desktop Search 4.0 (which is supported on Windows Server 2003).
Back to your issue, normally, we can see all files in library, yeah, I have confirmed this in my environment. For your situation, can you see all files via UNC path directly?

Smf / sometimes does not configure network interfaces in single-user mode?

From http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisx86/message/14785
When booting into single user mode, I often get a message
on the console
t_optmgmt: System error: Cannot assign requested addressand only the loopback interface is configured (lo0 inet, and lo0 inet6).
The system's dnet0 interface is not plumbed any more. Configuration
for the dnet0 network interface is via a static ip address; hostname
in /etc/hostname.dnet0, and and ip v4 address for that hostname in
/etc/hosts. This was a Solaris 10 x86 system, but the same problem
has also been observed on Solaris 10 sparc, and the hme0
interface.
svcs -x in single-user mode reports no problems.
Changing to multi-user mode by typing Ctrl-D still does not
configure the real network interface.
One thing that I've noticed is that smf's log file
/etc/svc/volatile/network-physical:default.log
is missing, when the nic interface was not configured.
It seems that the problem with unconfigured network interfaces
does not happen when I boot directly into multi-user mode.
Why isn't the physical interface plumbed and configured when
booting into single user mode on S10 b69?

If i will be connecting my laptop to various IP whereever i go, so do i need to configure network setting again and again ? isn't there any auto network configuration so that i can connect internet where ever i go and let the system auto configure network settings like in windows XP auto IP configuration detect.
7. etc/nsswitch.conf
in this i can't see "hosts: files" but i could see rest of the details. so I inserted "hosts: files dns" in the third line and saved.
I ran the following command in the terminal to find the details:
#ypmatch host-name hosts
ypmatch: the domainname hasn't been set on this machine
(how to set domain name can anyone tell me?)
#move/etc/netmasks: not found
#uname -n

hosts.org-dir: Error in accessing NIS+ cold file.......is NIS+ installed?
actually during installation i selected DNS type for network giving a wrong nameserver and domain got skipped later
#getent ipnodes dns (no response)
so all these things i did and found by seeing the forum guidelines. I can see the network connection has receivinh and sent packets seems to be working but can't browse internet, also can't ping a website.
if anyone had the same problem but found the answer than kindly let me know. I am new to solaris but i am trying my best.
awaiting reply from gurus
bye for now.................

Clone of a VM does not propogate network interfaces

Hi,
I am looking for a help. When I am cloning a VM, I am seeing that network interfaces are not getting propogated to the new cloned VM. I am using B200 M2 blades.
I am cloning a VM with RHEL 6.3.
Appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,
Santhosh

Hi,
There is an issue with RHEL 6.3 OS while cloning. Following two steps have to be done before cloning a RHEL 6 VM.
1. Remove “HWADDR” from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.
2. Remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file.
Thanks,

Network is down suddenly on my Solaris X86 box

Hi all,
I have been using Solaris X86 for a while. However, I found a strange problem when downloading large/many
files with FTP. For example, I ftp to my Solairs X86 box and try to download all my backup software to my local
notebook or PC. After about 10 mins, Solaris X86 box's network will be down suddenly without any error or
warning message.
I found this problem from Solaris8 to Solaris9 and the FTP server daemon I used included NcFTPd, vsftp and
even the default FTP daemon. I have tried two different hardwares. The only one possible reason is my
network (Intel 100 ServerPro something).
Does anyone have such a strange problem when downloading many/large files from your Solaris X86 box?
I also check the log file but found nothing.....:-(
Thinking to switch FreeBSD/Linux box for my FTP service. Please advice and thanks first!

This bug is common to the Intel Server 100 MBit Cards
The problem occurs on high net load.
You have to reboot to restart the card, since it is a complete
stop of the card.
You can try to put the card into another pci-slot, but this helps
only in rare cases.
I had to replace the card with a 3com 3c905b to have uninterrupted
transfers.
The Inteldualport cards seem to work to.

No dialtone in right jack of Telephone Network Interface, but there is dialtone on the left jack

Currently I have FIOS Internet and Phone.
I don't have dialtone on all of my phones inside the house. When I opened up the Telephone Network Interface box outside, there are 2 jacks labelled "test phone jacks". I plug in a corded phone on the left jack, and I can get dial tone. When I plug it in to the right jack, I don't get dial tone (and I tried several times).
What does that mean? Where is the problem? The Internet is fine.
Thank you.

You have a bad ONT. My digital voice line died about 2 1/2 weeks after installation. Make sure you disconnect the copper line at the NIC to rule out any inside problem before contacting Verizon. If you disconnect the copper at the NIC and still have no dial tone its Verizon's problem not yours,

OVM Server 2.2.1 in a ProLiant BL680c G7 did not detect networks interfaces

Hello everybody
I just installed OVM Server in a HP ProLiant BL680c G7 and the installation finish. But the network interfaces was not detected. (The installation skip the network steps)
The Server have 24 network interfaces (FlexFabric Embedded Ethernet)
Any idea in order to recognize network interfaces??
greetings

Hi,
try using OVM 2.2.2 which was released a week ago. (edelivery.oracle.com/linux)
A lot of drivers were updated, maybe now your network cards are also detected.

'Forget this network' option not there.

Hello–
Since upgrading my 3G iPhone to 2.0.2 (5C1) the 'Forget this network' option is not there in the 'Wi-Fi Networks' screen.
It's very annoying to say the least, anyone else have this problem?
Any solutions??
Thanks in advance.

That makes sense, thank you.
The scenario i'm talking about is this - I'm at home, my home wi-fi isn't on so my phone asks me if i want to join a nearby network, this network is one i don't want to join (i also don't have the password for this network) so i say no. Before 2.0 & 2.0.2 i'm sure i would be able to go 'Settings' > WiFi > 'Choose a Network' > Find the network i don't want to join > tap the blue arrow > the click 'Forget this Network'. This would then stop my phone asking if i want to join this network.
From what you are saying (i think), is that i must connect to that network before i can instruct my phone to forget it?

Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter & New Network Interface Message

I am using the new Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter. Why is it that every time I use it, I get the following message:
"A new network interface has been detected. The Thunderbolt FireWire Slot 2 network interface has not been set up. To set up this interface, use network preferences."
All I want to do is mount external hard drives that don't have Thunderbolt ports to my iMac, via Thunderbolt because I am using the iMac's single Firewire port for something else. The drives do successfully mount, but why do I keep getting this message whenever I connect them again?

I have no doubt what you say to do would get rid of the message for me. However, both myself and an Apple Store employee think it is odd that the message comes up in the first place. We're both curious about it, and he's going to look into it.
We tested it on a computer at the store, and found that it happens on Lion too.

BadRequest: Virtual machines with secondary network interfaces and virtual machines with no secondary network

I'm trying to create an "ExtraLarge" VM with multiple NICs. The New-AzureVM returns the following error:
BadRequest: Virtual machines with secondary network interfaces and virtual machines with no secondary network
interfaces are not supported in the same deployment, also a virtual machine having no secondary network interfaces
cannot be updated to have secondary network interfaces and vice-versa.
But I have no other VMs. Or at least I did and then deleted them and all their disks. The service has no deployments (either staging or production).
Why is New-AzureVM complaining about a mismatch of VMs with and without secondary network interfaces when no other VMs exist?
I have tried many things to fix this, including the deletion of ALL of my resources. I have deleted and created the service many times, both with an affinity group and without. I have a screen print of the -debug output if your interested.
Thanks for the outstanding help.

Hi Ron,

Intel network interface with Solaris 10 x86

Hi,
I have been Googling all evening to try and find a solution to this, but here is the problem:
I have a PC built around an Asus P4C800-E system board, and I have Solaris 10 x86 01/2006 installed. I would like to get the Ethernet interface (Intel adaptor, running on a CSA bus) up and running - but for some reason I can't seem to get the driver to bind to the proper address (pci8086,1019 - from what I have been able to find out): It instead insists on binding to pci1043,80f7. Even though pci8086,1019 is listed in /etc/device_aliases, it won't play nice.
I know the NIC is working, and have tried it under other OSes (including Linux).
Although Solaris x86 "sees" something there, and the interface is plumbed (it can even tell when the network link is up or down), I can't get the interface to work - pings do not work, etc.
Is there a way I can convince the driver to bind to pci8086,1019 instead of pci1043,80f7?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Joovilhar.

Is 1043,80f7 the device's pci subsystem vendor and subsystem device id?
And 8086,1019 is the normal vendor/device id?
In this case everything would work as expected.
What is listed by "/usr/X11/bin/scanpci -v" for the ethernet controller?

Try to boot the kernel with various settings of the "acpi-user-options" variable,
to disable / enable ACPI. In previous Solaris x86 releases, when
something went wrong configuring an interrupt vector for a nic device,
the typical end result is a nic that is unable to receive incomming
packets. Maybe your Asus P4C800-E is still problematic with ACPI, with
S10 x86 1/2006, and needs the acpi-user-options workaround.
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/danasblog?anchor=configurin g_solaris_acpi_at_boot
To change the "acpi-user-options" variable, edit the grub boot command
line and edit the "multiboot" line, e.g. append "-Bacpi-user-options=0x2".
